Resumo:This article discusses violence and its representation on television, showing the results of a comprehensive reception research, employing qualitative and quantitative approaches. The results show us a society centered in the media, that depends on television for information, although such information is elaborated according to social and cultural environments. Consumption has to be quick, there is no time for reflection. News has to be short and objective. News programs only show city facts, not being violent themselves. Violence is best characterized on programs related to entertainment, as they do not respect the human being.
